I take it you haven't used Google search lately to find new(not ones you lost the address to) websites? It has gotten really sucky. The first two pages are sockpuppet websites for whatever company is trying to sell you something. Example: learning a new language. You sued to be able to find real specialty sites on the web. Not so much anymore.

shut down the NSA and we won't have contract required backdoors all over the place. So you could make your stuff more secure. Either we are all secure or no one is. The NSA makes EVEVYONE less safe. Other governments can't force limits on encryption and demand keys to the castles

hahhaha, another foss sucker.

Don't abuse citizenship. Get citizenship where they grew up, Belgium. Citizenship should not be a choose your own adventure. They are not American by any stretch. Why not apply for UK citizenship while you are at it? UK offers better protection to private citizens and better colleges anyways. Oh, and get Easter island citizenship while you are at it in case they want to retire to an island paradise.

you would never get a couple million. hell you wouldn't need it 100,000 would make you rich in the quiet parts of mexico

WIndfarms are great, but don't claim magic 40% numbers

A tooth for a tooth is bad dentistry.

Just name them anonymously, this is the only way executives move, bad press. Example, that time A UPS driver threw a TV over a fence. They guy had a video. At first they refused to pay to replace it, so he posted it to youtube and sent a copy to the 10 o'clock news. They paid up pretty fast. Their are tons of examples like this. You might think you are protecting people by hiding the bug, but you are not.

A replaceable battery to to recharge when you are away from home. I bike to work and cannot charge at work as my phone needs to be on me or on the way there. I often spend 20 hours away from a charge. It's not about the battery wearing out, it's about double capacity without lunging around a spare charger. Also A SD card is awesome for it's usefulness in trip phones or carrying movies and music.

whatever. ISP's at the local level are natural monopolies anyways. Like the water pipes that bring water or electrical wires

Hey guys Linux is secure right? Can we please stop pretending open source means secure? Closed source doesn't mean secure either but the argument you often hear is "X is open source" "Open source things are secure" "Therefore X is secure".

It never combusted. The permafrost melted and it all just went in the atmosphere and the loss of mass caused a sinkhole. The summary is bad. There was never a explosion besides the dust settling. Think ice sheet breaking. Once it pasts melting point, it accelerates fast enough to watch it with your eyes. If this keep happening most of the timescale modals of global warming are off and we will have reached a weird point-of-no-return due to the major mass of methane added to the atmosphere all at once.

It's people like you that cause global warming and will make all the northern forests to die off. People have such a warped sense of entitlement. Just because you can hire someone in another country doesn't mean you should. Just because you can easily drive from downtown to your house in the suburbs doesn't mean you should. There is absolutely no reason you can't get good people that live near you. You have no sense of community or socialization. If something is too far to bike to, something in your society is off. This doesn't just apply to work. When family moves away it breaks all the ties that matter. "But it's only a 3 hour plane flight" is silly. I know this is kind of radical, but unpack it for a moment. All those nutty holiday flights. No sense of shared responsibility because most of the people you know will get a new job and move in 5 years. The other half live 30 minutes away by car and you see them once a week. You don't have a community, you have buddies. No phone calls and skype don't count. That only makes you care about the person, not the city taxes they are under, or who they should vote for, or their schools. It just makes you narrow and selfish. Phone cares to people far away also just take away from people you could be with near you, or the chance to meet people near you.

Rome is already in decline, our fall is inevitable

Google is just another one of those large corporations that are run by middle managers: and C level head nodding exes. The way decisions flow up stream is dysfunctional, which is why they are often reversed seemingly pscyofranicly if they get play in the media.
